What's on in Basildon

Basildon sits right in the heart of Essex and has always been a spot where people gather for a good time. You can find local theatre groups putting on shows that make you forget your keys are still at home, while community centres host dance classes that keep everyone moving. It really is a town with plenty to offer without needing to travel far for it. The library often runs story sessions that turn quiet rooms into busy hubs of laughter and chatter. Markets pop up in the square so you can grab a fresh coffee and chat with neighbours who know exactly what you mean. Near Here keeps track of all this local action so you never have to hunt through a dozen websites on a rainy Tuesday.
